DESCRIPTION OF PHILADELPHIA. 



Philadelphia, the second city in size in 'he United 
States, stands between the Delaware and Schuylkill 
ri ers, five miles above their junction, in lat. 39° 57' 
N. and long. 75° 10' 59" from Greenwich, and is about 
120 miles distant from the Atlantic ocean by the course 
of the river. The city was founded by William Penn, 
in the year 1682. The original design of the pro- 
prietor would have covered an area of more than twelve 
square miles, but by his charter of 17U1, the plot of the 
city was contracted and declared to be bounded by the 
two rivers, an extent of about two miles east and west, 
and on the north and south by Vine and Cedar streets, 
an extent of about one mile. But the progress of im- 
provements, long since broke beyond these limited 
boundaries, and now we bthold the city compactly 
built along the Delawore nearly four miles, though for 
municipal purposes, the boundaries of the city proper 
remain unaltered. The city is divided into the follow, 
ing districts : — the corporations of the city of Phila- 
delphia, of the Northern Liberties, Kensington, Spring 
Garden, Soulhwark and Moyamensing. The whole 
number of streets in the city and districts, is about six 
hundred, varying much in width, Arch street being 
sixty feet, Market street one hundred, Broad street one 
hundred and thirteen, while others .ire much narrower 
1* 



PUBLIC SQUARES. 

The various public squares, reserved in the original 
plan of the city, evince the foresight ind judgment of 
William Penn. They are not only conducive to health, 
by promoting a free circulation of air, but are pleasant 
places for recreation to the citizens, during the heat of 
the summer. 

Independence Square, which extends from Chesnut 
street to Walnut street, and from Fifth to Sixth streets, 
is tastefully laid out in gravelled walks, delightfully 
shaded by indigenous and exotic trees, and enclosed by 
a substantial iron railing. It is thrown open to the 
public as a promenade, and is a place of general resort. 
This square is 398 feet from east to west, and 470 
feet from north to south. 

Washington Square, extends from Sixth street to 
Washington street, 456 feet, and fr >m Walnut street 
to Locust street, 370 feet. This square was formerly 
Potter's Field, but is now laid out in delightful walks, 
and is planted with a variety of beautiful trees. It is 
surrounded by a row of flourishing Linden trees, 
planted on a line with the curbstone of the street, and 
is also a place of general resort. 

Franklin Square lies between Race and Vine- streets, 
and Sixth and Franklin streets. Its extent from north 
to south is 632 feet, and from east to west 600 feet. It 
is also handsomely laid out in gravelled walks, planted 
with trees, and thrown open to the public. 

Penn Square, formerly called Centre Square, is at the 
intersection" of Broad and High streets. This space, 
though formerly entire, was in 1828, by order of Coun- 
cils, cut into four distinct squares, which have not yet 
been thrown open as public walks. 



PUBLIC BUILDINGS. ' 

Logan Square extends from Race to Vine street, and 
from Schuylkill Fifth street, westward, This square is 
not yet improved. 

Rittenhouse Square is of the same dimensions as 
Logan Square, and lies between Walnut and Ann streets, 
extending westward from Schuylkill Fifth street, be- 
yond Schuylkill Fourth street. Not yet improved. 



PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 

7'he State House. — The circumstance of the Con- 
, gress of the United States having held its deliberations 
within these walls, and the Declaration of Independ- 
ence having been first publicly read from the steps, July 
4, 1776, gives an interest to this building. It was com- 
menced in the year 1729, and finished in 1735, and 
though externally plain, has a venerable appearance. 
The whole original expense was not quite six thousand 
pounds. The s steeple by which it wa'i formerly sur- 
mounted was taken down abc ut the close of the revolu- 
tion, but in 1828, a new one was erected, in order to 
restore as nearly as practicable this venerable building 
to its original features. It stands on Chesnut street, 
between Fifth and Sixth streets, and though formerly 
isolated, the whole square is now occupied bj public 
buildings. 

Bank'of the United States. — This splendid building, 
which is composed externally of marble, stands on 
Chesnut street, between Fourth airid Fifth streets. The 
foundation stone was laid April 19, 1819, and the 
building was completed in August, 1824. It is mo- 
delled after the Parthenon, at Athens. 



b PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 

Bank of Pennsylvania. — This building has frequently 
been pronounced the chastest specimen of Grecian 
architecture in the country. The design is taken from 
the temple of Minerva, at Athens. The whole building 
is composed of Pennsylvania marble. The first stone 
was laid in April, 1799, and the whole finished in 1801. 
It stands on Second street, between Chesnut and Wal- 
nut streets 

New Exchange. — This splendid building is one of the 
finest ornaments of Philadelphia. It excites the atten- 
tion, and commands the admiration of our citizens and 
of strangers, while it reflects credit upon the enter- 
prising stockholders, as well as upon the architect who 
planned it. The Exchange occupies a lot of ground 
bounded by Third, Walnut and Dock streets. The 
first floor is divided off into the Post Office, a Coffee 
Room and Bar Room, Stock Broker's Offices, and seve- 
ral offices of Insurance Companies. The Reading Room, 
on the second floor, is spacious and convenient. It is 
under the superintendence of J. Coffee, Esq. a gentle- 
man well calculated for the situation. 

The Arcade stands on Chesnut street, west of Sixth 
street, 100 feet front, and extends north 150 feet to 
Carpenter street. The first story is occupied as stores 
and shops, the second as offices, and the third by Pealc's 
Museum of Natural Curiosities. The cellars are occu- 
pied as refectories. This building, which is of white 
marble, was erected in 1826-7. 

The University and Medical College Halls stand in 
Ninth street, between Market and Chesnut streets, and 
are each 85 feet front, by 112 feet deep. Erected in 
1830-'31. 

The Mint stands on Chesnut street, near Broad 
street. It is of he Ionic order, built of white marble. 



PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 9 

presenting a front of 122 feet. It was commenced in 

182). 

Pennsylvania Hospital, occupies an entire square be- 
tween Spruce and Pine streets, and Eighth and Ninth 
streets, containing about four acres. The institution 
was founded in 1750, and in 1755 the east wing of the 
present commodious building was erected, since which 
many additions have been made. In the yard fronting 
on Pine street, is a leaden statue, bronzed, of William 
Penn, on a marble pedestal, who is represented holding 
a scroll, having part of the first sentence of the "Charter 
of Privileges," inscribed on it. This statue was present- 
ed by John Penn, of London, to the Hospital, in the 
year*180 I. 

The Marine Asylum stands on the eastern bank of 
the Schuylkill, a short distance south of the city line. 
It is 388 feet long, consisting of a portico 90 feet, sup- 
ported by 8 Ionic columns, and two wings each 148 
feet. 

The Alms House. A splendid and spacious building 
for the reception of the poor, stands on the western bank 
of the Schuylkill, opposite Cedar street. It was com- 
menced in 1831. 

Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb is 
a spacious building, constructed of granite, located on 
the west side of Broad street, near Pine street. The 
whole front is 96 feet 6 inches, and 63 feet deep. The 
foundation was laid in May, 1824. 

The Eastern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania. The 
external appearance of this building conveys a vivid idea 
of the magnificent castles of Europe during the middle 
ages. The walls are 12 feet thick at the base, and the 
principal front 670 feet in length. The ground occu- 



10 PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 

pied by it contains about ten acres. The corner stone 
was laid May 22, 1823. 

Surrounded by massy walls, stands the building for 
the confinement of convicts, from the centre of which 
diverge the cells, which are pierced throughout their 
whole length by galleries. A rotunda in the centre, 
occupied by the superintendent, enables him to overlook 
the whole interior of the prison. Small yards are 
attached to each cell, where the prisoners are permitted 
to enjoy the air and exercise for two hours every day. 
No communication is allowed between the convicts, nor 
are strangers permitted to see or visit them. Each oc- 
cupies his separate c^ll, which contains an iron frame 
for his bed, a loom or other implements for the labour 
which has been assigned him, a chair, table, and every 
appliance to ensure the utmost possible cleanliness. 
Such as can read are furnished with a Bible, while every 
Sunday a chaplain preaches in the gallery, and is dis- 
tinctly heard by the inmates of every cell. By means 
of flues, an equal and sufficient heat is kept up in tne 
coldest weather. Although this system is a new expe- 
riment in prison discipline, it already promises to be 
attended with the happiest results. The criminal in 
silence and solitude, has an opportunity of looking back 
upon the errors which have thus degraded him, and 
comes back into the world, doubly armed to resist the 
temptations which have misled him. 

The Water Works— ^-Of all her public works, Phila- 
delphia has most reason to be proud of that by which 
the Schuylkill water has been introduced throughout 
the city. In 1797, a plan was adopted which was to 
form a reservoir on the east bank of the Schuylkill, 
from which water was to be thrown by a steam engine 
into a tunnel, and thence carried to another engine 
house, at the centre of the city, whe re it was to be 



Us? op public buildings, &c* ii 

again raised by a second engine into a reservoir, from 
Which it was to be distributed in pipes through the city. 
Ten years experience proved that a sufficient supply 
could not be obtained by this method; accordingly, in 
1811, anew reservoir was created, and two large en- 
gines constructed, which, however, proved inadequate to 
supply the demand. In 1819, the project of damming 
the Schuylkill, and erecting the works at Fair Mount 
was commenced, the whole cost of which was in 1824, 
$432,5 12, and the entire amount expended on the suc- 
cessive operation, $1,443,585.

Letters must be left at the Post Office within the time 
specified, to insure going- in the mail of the day; and 
newspapers half an hour before that time, carefully put 
up and legibly directed, otherwise they will not be sent. 
As there are several places of the same name in the 
United States, it is necessary that the directions should 
be particular ; the States should be distinguished, and 
when it might be doubtful, the Comities. When letters 
are not for a post town, the nearest post town ought to 
be mentioned. The office is open, daily, from sunrise 
to 8 P. M. except Sundays, the Fourth of July, and 
Christmas day, when it is open from 71 to 8| A. M., 
and from 6 to 7 P. M. 

Persons wishing to pay postage when the office is 
shut, can inclose the money with the letter, directed to 
"The Post Office." Those who keep accounts with 
the Carriers or Office, will please inclose the letter di- 
rected in the same manner, with a request that the post- 
age be charged to their account. 

All notes or letters deposited in this office, directed 
to any part of this city, this side of Broad street, and 
to the populous parts of the Northern Liberties and 
Southwark, will be carried out with' the Eastern, South- 
ern and Western Mails. _
